A HIGH-MARGIN SERVICE BUSINESS BUILT ON CASH, TRUST AND LOCKED-IN SUPPLY

Machinery | Business for Sale | Perth


Paid in full before the customer walks out the door.
Products secured by contract no competitor can touch.
Built to compound profit for the next ten years.

Customers walk in, watch the job get done, and walk out having paid in full. That's how most of the business runs. No invoicing cycle on these jobs, no chasing payment, no guessing when the money lands — just fast, specialist work, paid for on the spot. The balance comes from a small base of trade and fleet accounts on short, predictable terms, set out below.

Roughly two dollars in every three arrive as cash, on the same day the work is done. There's barely any stock sitting on the shelf, no fleet of delivery trucks to run, and no ballooning debtor book to manage — just clean, simple cash flow, every day the doors are open.

And because the products it sells solve real, everyday problems — heat, glare, sun damage, energy costs, safety — customers don't buy them on a whim. They buy them because they need them. That's what keeps demand solid, year after year, regardless of what the wider economy is doing.

The Cash Story

67% of revenue is cash-in-hand, collected on the day the service is delivered

The remaining 33% is a base of established trade and fleet accounts settling within 7–60 days — a bonus layer of predictable, contracted volume sitting on top of the cash engine, not the main game

Stock holding of just $25,000 — there's barely any inventory tying up capital

Supplier terms extend up to 75 days from order to payment, meaning the business is largely paid before it has to pay

Adjusted net profit of $289,699 on sales of $611,847 — a 47% net margin, sitting on top of an 83.8% gross margin — the return to a single owner working just 25 hours a week on sales and administration only, with no trade skills or technical experience required

Asking price of $855,000 plus stock — a return on investment of approximately 33% per annum

How the money actually comes in — cash first, terms a distant second.

A Supply Chain Competitors Can't Touch

A 10-year supply agreement (5 years firm, plus a 5-year owner option) with one of the world's largest specialist manufacturers — locked-in pricing, locked-in product, locked-in margin

Exclusive territory rights under a 50-year global brand with 90+ outlets and a lifetime warranty program independents simply cannot match

A national marketing fund and a purpose-built product range designed specifically to keep resellers protected from direct, product-for-product competition

25+ years trading on this site alone, having weathered more than one recession without losing its footing

Growth Nobody Has Paid For Yet

None of the upside below is baked into the asking price. This business is priced on today's earnings only — everything here is upside a new owner captures for free.

Paint protection is barely tapped locally — comparable operators in the same network report up to $250,000 in additional annual sales from this one add-on alone

Home and office protection work sits at just 8% of revenue, against a network benchmark of 40%+ — the systems, brand and skills are already in place to close that gap

New 7-star energy efficiency building standards (mandatory across WA from May 2025) turn this from a discretionary upgrade into a compliance requirement for renovations, new builds and multi-residential developments

Western Australia is the fastest-growing state in the country, adding roughly 64,000 new residents a year —new homes and new customers, every year

Sales are currently tracking approximately 17% ahead of the prior corresponding period

Runs Lean, Runs Itself

A team of just one full-time, one part-time and two casual staff handles the entire workload, with subcontracting on standby for peak demand

Trades Monday to Friday only — no weekend hours

Full handover training and documented systems mean a new owner is productive from week one

No Experience Required – the perfect business, with all the support needed to hit the ground running.

Why Risk-Averse Buyers Keep Choosing Businesses Like This

No customer cliff — outside the broader network relationship, no single independent customer accounts for more than 9% of sales

A proven wealth-building track record: comparable resales within this same network have delivered profit growth of $225,000 to $500,000, and resale value growth of $725,000 to $1.74 million, within 2 to 9 years of ownership

Demonstrated resilience through downturns — this business has grown through more than one recession
